This ia all wrong. When a case baa been fairly tried tip-on iu merit, and a party ia found guilty, it is a great outrage, aad an tasalt aud mockery opoo jastice to permit him to eaespe upon mere technicality; We notice that the Columbus papers, at tha request of the court and attorney, did not pub iiab report of the evidence ia this important case. This, too, i all wrong. If some poor devil bad been Indicted for stealing, a sheep or a horse, the evidence woold have been epraad before the pablici bat Mr. Gibson being only gatltyof the trifling offense of embezzling the public monies, aud being a very wealthy and respectable C7 Citizen, it would sot .do to Bart his Ueliag by pebliahing a fair report of hU trial ia the Mbli papers. The taxpayer of Ohio, whose money Gibaoa ba applied to his own private purpose, have the right to anew all tbe facta which' could oi ly be ascertaietd ia' judicial proceeding. It is certainly bo source of pleasure to as tosoe Mr. Gibson convicted and entenoed to the penitentiary; but we do desire to let justice have iu course, without rerpect to persowa, high or low. rich or poor."

The sixth general valuation of real property has u-ken place during the last rear, ana will natoralty, direct your attention to oar material resources as thus exhibited, aad their relations to tbe general oondition of the State. The theory of taxation, settled by the Constitution and sanctioned by general approval, requires that all property, of whatever description, shall contribute to necessary puolie expenses in exact proportion to valae. The exceptions to the practical application of the rule, admitted by the CiwsiJiBiiya. tzJ"'m fpv'":f longing to individuals not exceeoio tn; ai tn value, aiid properties belonging to the counties, the Stale and the fjakm, or Oeld and used exi-Usivelr under publie authority for edacaUoa-at. relifrious and charitable purpose. , lo order to ire practical effect to the intention of the Constitution, prevision has been made by law for periodical valMtion. All lands and town lots whatever, subject to taxation, are required to be valued once in six years; while lands recently become Uxable, being: for the most part, land - sold by the Federal Govera meat or the State, together with all recent improvement on land, ard all aoa exempt per sonal propertr. mast be valued aa anally. These appraisements, directed to be made at the true value ia money, will exhibit, if the law be intelligently and faithfully executed, the pro zresstve increase or diminution of wealth ia the State, and jn each locality, with approximate correvttes. . -. . Sxme dedoctioa and a erne addition must be made on account of that land which it taxed more than once in different forma, : and of that which, through the . negligence of assessor, or ia spite of their vigilance, will, under every system of taxation, escape- jast contribution. Some addiiiocs meat also toe made to the officials appraisement, on account of the disparity which is always found to exist between the average assessment and the" average market value. It ia to be 'remembered," alo, that valuations most always be alTecred neceesaritv b the aren- eral eirenmstanee of the country Ja a time of extraordu at apparent prospentv and eeaeral f xpansion, valaatioas may be too high; and ia a a ol rctutpwn , and great depress ion will almost certainly be too low-. With tbe corrections sargeeted by these considerations, the valuation f each year, and espectrij of each sixth year, tha cnaans of ascertaining, with some reasonable approximation to accuracy, the actual amount of pnperty within tha State. ; v Near approaches to absolute exactness will doubtless be constantlv made, as experience shall suggest more perfect legislation, and clearer appreciation of the dutie enjoined by ft shall secure enure complete and faithful listings and appraisements. " Every citizen and every assessor ahoald. bear ia mind- that the assessment of property at it tree value doe not increase the amount of axe to be paid y proprietor. - If the aggregate amount of property is augmented by correct asses fmen t, the total taxation need not be affected, for tha rates may be diminished. Correct assessments, at teal value, will "alone insure tbe equitable apportionment of pahlie burdens among the people.: Whoever, therefore, eaaee hi property to be ; listed at Us thaa ac-tnal value, evades lis just, chare of public coa-tribntioe, and unjustly increase the proportions of his fellow-citizen. . - i. --. -. ; - ; . w. . . 7 ; A succinct accou at of ih".various systems of taxation adopted ia this Zutp, and of the valuation made, will i"ctrata these observation, and will ertablsjoa to. better Ouderstand our present condition. . .. .. - -. r. . v ., . ; For many year no "provUion for general v&l uation constituted part of the rarrnt: rystcm'of Obif. - AH land were ttassetl C-it, i?cor lor L'.ird jrste, and taxes for the s: .pet cf tba C.e psverr-'eot werers -p ry r -- - -: terete, varjlog, rt -;f- f t 1 .1 . r ..iaccefwing r'j 13 slxtt t- r;j !.n rents, er. i lay:, tstei.'.- ... rJ. cr-'3 ; ; f ; ' i rt 3 c r ! tr, wtkhecame- racr , and nor coarpicuoo tii textUczt Thb tit rKiive tct very one. qttsJ increase ia tie vaiaa. 01 lands, ia J6Z4, the taxes kricd forXtat purposes ia Hamilton county amounted to $2,CS3, while Athens, with less than' one-thirteenth ia value of the real property ia Hamilton, paid taxes of the came de cnpUoa to the amount of 12,12.., , , It wa not aatU 1825, however, thai this syV tm 11 system it may be called wa abandoned. Jo chat year distinguished ia our annala by the eraaciaeat adopUoa of practical andeQ- ctect sneatures for commoo school edacatioa. iatcraal improvement by canals, aad taxation according to value provision was first made, by legislative enactment, for the valuation ef real property at iu true value ia Doner. Tb amount of personal property actually valued, however, was still small. MerchanU and brok ers ware arranged la certain classes, by the aa sociale jadges, according to capital, aad were taxed according to class, -without reference te the amount of capital actually employed by dif ferent members of the same class. The value of tbe animals sjected to taxation were still bxed by tbe legislature wuhoet appraisement. and the list af exempted property was very large including, not only real property nsed for educational, religiose aad chariubfa purposes, but mill and factories almost or quite without ex- sptioa. . - , It will be seen: therefore, that the act of 1825 initiated, rather thaa eaUbliahed, the rale of valuation, aad Uxetioa according to valae. Bat this was bo small merit, and it was enhanced bv the introduction of a uniform tvttem of levies for aIfpurpoea, both Sute and local and of a provision for the equalization of valuation, as between iadividuxla, by County Boards, of E- qualization. Both, ia aabsUace, still make parte of oar revenue system. "lit will be admitted, of course, that the valuation directed and made under the act of 1825, affords no satisfactory measure of tbe actual wealth of Hie Stats at that time. It baa, bow- ever, some claim to attention, even ia that view ana n ba a higher interesU a the practical re-suit of the first attempt to ascertain, however defectively, a tree basis for the equiuble apportion ment or public burden among the citizens. The whole number of acre subject to taxation returned by the Assessors, was 15,143309; the average value per acre, as equalized by .the Board of Equalization was $2,47; the total vel ue of land was $37,714,225; of town lots, $7,-32U034;in all, $45,035,259. v - : The act of 1825 1 zed no period for a second general valuation. The' appraisement made under it was to remain unaltered until further legislation. The county aeors, however, were required to ascertain,, in the spring of each year, what land had become liable to taxa-tion daring tbe preceding year, and what sew 1 permanent improvemenu had been made by strnctarea on Tand. The value of this land and these improvements, annually - ascertained by the assessors, together with that of all taxable personal property, computed accordicg to arot-trary rates fixed by law, added annually to the eqnalized value of tbe real property, was to constitute tbe Grand List, and form the basis of Uxa tion for tbe current year. .Thus, in 1526, the valuation permanently settled by tb Board of Equalization, with tbe valuations, in the Spring, of lands recently become taxable, of new improvements, and of personalty, constituted the first Grand List under the act, upon which were to be assessed the necessary levies for Sute, County and Township purposes. rf ""t 7?o 411 ; - r'ne 095. The total valuation was 158.474.507. Important changes in tbe law relating to tax ation were introduced in 1S31; An act of that year enlarged very considerably the description of taxable property ; reduced the list of exemp- uons, ana extended the application, or tbe principle of appraisement and proportioned contribution. It did not disturb, however, the valuation of the real property equalized ia 1825; and it still retained, ia some of iu application, the principle of arbitrary valuation by the Legislature. .-';'--. ' -. " At length, after the lapse of nine years, a revaluation of all real property was directed by the Legislature, in 1834; was made the same year, aad was equalized in 1835. The property re valaed consisted of the descriptions made lax-able by the act of 1831 ; for the act directing the revaluation had made no change ta the tub-jecU of Uxation. t The result exhibited a strikiue increase. The eqnalized value of the lands and town lots was 173,932,892. The Graad List oT 1835, embracing thi a valuation, increased by the usual Spring valuation, amounted, exclusive of four cooa-tiee, whose return had not been received, to $95,927,396. In nine years the value cf Uxa ble property had increased $37,452,889. A third valaation was made in 1840, and was equalized in 1841. The subjecU of valuation are till defined by the act of 1831. The equalized vaJealion was $99,154,745. The Grand List tor 1841, embracing this valuation and the additions for real estaU and personal property, made In the Spring of that year, was $l23.353e 557. The increase ia five rears had been 132.. 426,261. . . - ' ' . - . ' A thorough revision ot the laws coneerninj taxation took place in 1846. Important additions were made to the descriptions of taxable property ; exemptioaa were restricted and de fined with greaUr precision; rule of appraise meat were prescribed with a view to ensure a closer epproximation of valaation to value ; the principle of actual appraisement wa for the first time applied to all objecU of taxation to which, fa the nature of things, it wa applicable; clear direction were given for the annual listing and valuation of land becoming taxable f?r the fist time, of improvement, and of all personal property; a new valuation of all real property wa directed, and provision was mads for future valuations in every sixth vear. , . ' , i"' ' ' k The first general valuation required by this act, being the fourth in the whole series, was maJe ia 1846, and . was equalized the same year.

The sixth general valuation of real property has u-ken place during the last rear, ana will natoralty, direct your attention to oar material resources as thus exhibited, aad their relations to tbe general oondition of the State. The theory of taxation, settled by the Constitution and sanctioned by general approval, requires that all property, of whatever description, shall contribute to necessary puolie expenses in exact proportion to valae. The exceptions to the practical application of the rule, admitted by the CiwsiJiBiiya. tzJ"'m fpv'":f longing to individuals not exceeoio tn; ai tn value, aiid properties belonging to the counties, the Stale and the fjakm, or Oeld and used exi-Usivelr under publie authority for edacaUoa-at. relifrious and charitable purpose. , lo order to ire practical effect to the intention of the Constitution, prevision has been made by law for periodical valMtion. All lands and town lots whatever, subject to taxation, are required to be valued once in six years; while lands recently become Uxable, being: for the most part, land - sold by the Federal Govera meat or the State, together with all recent improvement on land, ard all aoa exempt per sonal propertr. mast be valued aa anally. These appraisements, directed to be made at the true value ia money, will exhibit, if the law be intelligently and faithfully executed, the pro zresstve increase or diminution of wealth ia the State, and jn each locality, with approximate correvttes. . -. . Sxme dedoctioa and a erne addition must be made on account of that land which it taxed more than once in different forma, : and of that which, through the . negligence of assessor, or ia spite of their vigilance, will, under every system of taxation, escape- jast contribution. Some addiiiocs meat also toe made to the officials appraisement, on account of the disparity which is always found to exist between the average assessment and the" average market value. It ia to be 'remembered," alo, that valuations most always be alTecred neceesaritv b the aren- eral eirenmstanee of the country Ja a time of extraordu at apparent prospentv and eeaeral f xpansion, valaatioas may be too high; and ia a a ol rctutpwn , and great depress ion will almost certainly be too low-.

Tb amount of personal property actually valued, however, was still small. MerchanU and brok ers ware arranged la certain classes, by the aa sociale jadges, according to capital, aad were taxed according to class, -without reference te the amount of capital actually employed by dif ferent members of the same class. The value of tbe animals sjected to taxation were still bxed by tbe legislature wuhoet appraisement. and the list af exempted property was very large including, not only real property nsed for educational, religiose aad chariubfa purposes, but mill and factories almost or quite without ex- sptioa. . - , It will be seen: therefore, that the act of 1825 initiated, rather thaa eaUbliahed, the rale of valuation, aad Uxetioa according to valae. Bat this was bo small merit, and it was enhanced bv the introduction of a uniform tvttem of levies for aIfpurpoea, both Sute and local and of a provision for the equalization of valuation, as between iadividuxla, by County Boards, of E- qualization. Both, ia aabsUace, still make parte of oar revenue system. "lit will be admitted, of course, that the valuation directed and made under the act of 1825, affords no satisfactory measure of tbe actual wealth of Hie Stats at that time. It baa, bow- ever, some claim to attention, even ia that view ana n ba a higher interesU a the practical re-suit of the first attempt to ascertain, however defectively, a tree basis for the equiuble apportion ment or public burden among the citizens. The whole number of acre subject to taxation returned by the Assessors, was 15,143309; the average value per acre, as equalized by .the Board of Equalization was $2,47; the total vel ue of land was $37,714,225; of town lots, $7,-32U034;in all, $45,035,259. v - : The act of 1825 1 zed no period for a second general valuation. The' appraisement made under it was to remain unaltered until further legislation. The county aeors, however, were required to ascertain,, in the spring of each year, what land had become liable to taxa-tion daring tbe preceding year, and what sew 1 permanent improvemenu had been made by strnctarea on Tand. The value of this land and these improvements, annually - ascertained by the assessors, together with that of all taxable personal property, computed accordicg to arot-trary rates fixed by law, added annually to the eqnalized value of tbe real property, was to constitute tbe Grand List, and form the basis of Uxa tion for tbe current year. .Thus, in 1526, the valuation permanently settled by tb Board of Equalization, with tbe valuations, in the Spring, of lands recently become taxable, of new improvements, and of personalty, constituted the first Grand List under the act, upon which were to be assessed the necessary levies for Sute, County and Township purposes. rf ""t 7?o 411 ; - r'ne 095. The total valuation was 158.474.507. Important changes in tbe law relating to tax ation were introduced in 1S31; An act of that year enlarged very considerably the description of taxable property ; reduced the list of exemp- uons, ana extended the application, or tbe principle of appraisement and proportioned contribution. It did not disturb, however, the valuation of the real property equalized ia 1825; and it still retained, ia some of iu application, the principle of arbitrary valuation by the Legislature. .-';'--. ' -. " At length, after the lapse of nine years, a revaluation of all real property was directed by the Legislature, in 1834; was made the same year, aad was equalized in 1835. The property re valaed consisted of the descriptions made lax-able by the act of 1831 ; for the act directing the revaluation had made no change ta the tub-jecU of Uxation. t The result exhibited a strikiue increase. The eqnalized value of the lands and town lots was 173,932,892. The Graad List oT 1835, embracing thi a valuation, increased by the usual Spring valuation, amounted, exclusive of four cooa-tiee, whose return had not been received, to $95,927,396. In nine years the value cf Uxa ble property had increased $37,452,889. A third valaation was made in 1840, and was equalized in 1841. The subjecU of valuation are till defined by the act of 1831. The equalized vaJealion was $99,154,745. The Grand List tor 1841, embracing this valuation and the additions for real estaU and personal property, made In the Spring of that year, was $l23.353e 557. The increase ia five rears had been 132.. 426,261. . . - ' ' . - . ' A thorough revision ot the laws coneerninj taxation took place in 1846. Important additions were made to the descriptions of taxable property ; exemptioaa were restricted and de fined with greaUr precision; rule of appraise meat were prescribed with a view to ensure a closer epproximation of valaation to value ; the principle of actual appraisement wa for the first time applied to all objecU of taxation to which, fa the nature of things, it wa applicable; clear direction were given for the annual listing and valuation of land becoming taxable f?r the fist time, of improvement, and of all personal property; a new valuation of all real property wa directed, and provision was mads for future valuations in every sixth vear. , .
